I was asking for a reason that we had this conversation yesterday about member of our team who even if in doubt will choose the course of action. It may not be the best choice and sometimes even risky than other choices but there is no waiting time or indecisivness. He never asks about stuff even if team memebers are younger and sometimes better trained. In his eyes any leader who asks jeopardises his leadership position.

I want to lead or follow, it means no difference to me but lately I've been put on the spot many times where I had to take over. I'm always open to suggestions and take course of action that assures safety of my team (partner), bystanders and victims. I have no problem with people voicing their opinions. I'm firm when it comes to orders but I give them out after they are tought over. I never give order just to give it so people get occupied sometimes in sensless work. I just want to be a good leader and advice given by by the older guy didn't sound too kosher.
